Authors:
- Starting with the popular Lasso method as its prime example, the book then extends to a broad family of estimation methods for high-dimensional data
- A theoretical basis for sparsity-inducing methods is provided, together with ways to build confidence intervals and tests
- The focus is on common features of methods for high-dimensional data and, as such, a potential starting point is given for the analysis of other methods not treated in the book

About this book
Reviews
“This book is presented as a series of lecture notes on the theory of penalized estimators under sparsity. … The level of detail is high, and almost all proofs are given in full, with discussion. Each chapter ends with a section of problems, which could be used in a study setting to improve understanding of the proofs.” (Andrew Duncan A. C. Smith, Mathematical Reviews, August, 2017)
“The book provides several examples and illustrations of the methods presented and discussed, while each of its 17 chapters ends with a problem section. Thus, it can be used as textbook for students mainly at postgraduate level.” (Christina Diakaki, zbMATH 1362.62006, 2017)
